The bullying is too much, Malone said in today's public media interview, "I like to fall behind the Lakers at halftime, and don't lead too much." "History tells you that when you have a huge lead, you tend to relax. We tend to give up everything that puts us ahead, and when you're 20 points behind, you become urgent, you feel hopeless, you. It's very obvious that the defensive fragments of the second half are ...... We've made adjustments, not just adjustments. I'd rather take the half-time lead and not dig holes, as G1 and G2 experienced. My dad was 89 years old and he said I get nervous when you guys are ahead, so I want to be ahead but not too far ahead. How many times have you watched Murray's lore? watched the video five times, and each time I was excited...... It was a brilliant goal. "Injury News | G3" James (left ankle peroneal tendonitis) is likely to play, Bushy Eyebrow (lower back pain) is likely to play, Vanderbilt (sprained right foot) is out, Wood (left knee surgery) is out, Reddish (right ankle sprain) is out, Schifino (lumbar disc surgery) is out;
I don't agree with the idea that the Celtics don't sweep the Heat, so I'm more inclined to have a 5-6 series. Many friends say that they are saving character, but this is really not. The Celtics lack absolute talent, so it's normal for things to go wrong on the offensive end in the playoffs, and similar situations have happened in the past few years.
This year will be better, but we still have to be prepared for difficulties. You have to be in awe of the Heat's shooting prowess. They shot the league's second-highest percentage of open three-pointers during the regular season, and even with poor ball-handling resources, there is a chance that a three-point rain could fall one night. It's just that I didn't expect these two points to appear at the same time in the second game of the series, and it was not particularly surprising to go to the away game to score 2-2.
I almost forgot that the Celtics seemed to have made a trade at the trade deadline. Last year, the Grizzlies vs the Lakers, Tillman averaged 30 minutes per game, and the Celtics are not so strong that they can't even play such a player in the rotation.
In the first round of the NBA playoffs in the Western Conference G2, the Pelicans lost to the Thunder 92-124. Pelicans coach Willie Green spoke to reporters after the game. Speaking about Ingram's performance in the game, Willie Green said: "We need him to be a little bit more aggressive. We're going to rely on his performance, so as a team, including myself, we're going to keep playing and find a rhythm and today wasn't our best. In this game, Ingram played 33 minutes, shot 5 of 10, 8 of 8 free throws, and got 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus/minus of -30.
[Alexander 33 points Holmgren 26+7 Thunder 124-92 Pelicans (2-0)] The Thunder established a double-digit lead in the first quarter, and played 22-8 in the third quarter to further expand the difference, and finally the Thunder defeated the Pelicans 124-92, leading the series 2-0. In the post-game courtside interview, Holmgren put his arm around Alexander and said, "One thing I want to say, SGA is the MVP, the MVP of this league, I have to say it, because he is too modest, he himself will not say that." ”
The Thunder, who returned to the playoffs after 3 seasons, not only held the status of the first seed in the Western Conference, but also the whole team was strong, facing the Pelicans who escaped death from the play-offs on the 25th, the two sides had a huge disparity in strength, and finally won 124-92, won by 32 points, won 2 consecutive games in the series, and also wrote a rare record of 5 consecutive home wins in the playoffs.
Excluding the Big Three era of Durant, Westbrook and Harden, the Thunder used to give people the impression of weakness, but it was not until Alexander came to Oklahoma that they metamorphosed, only reaching the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive seasons since the 2016-17 season, and only stepping into the regular season for three consecutive seasons since the 2020-21 season.
Unexpectedly, this season's young and strong Thunder was reborn like a phoenix in the fire, with 57 wins and 25 defeats in the regular season, beating the gold nuggets seeking to defend the title, and became the leader of the Western Region.
The first game of the playoffs relied on Holmgren's free throws in the last 14 seconds to win 94-92, and he played very strongly today, with a 35-22 offensive attack in the first quarter that caught the Pelicans off guard, and extended the lead to more than 30 points in the fourth quarter before sealing the victory early.
Chet Holmgren on Nike ad with Durant: "It was made possible through a partnership with Nike, and I also had a connection with Durant, and I thought it was a cool collaboration, and it was great for both of us. We will continue to work together in the future. ”
Durant: Do you think you can do it? And I'm not just talking about basketball. Do you think you can carry the whole city? Chet: I know I can do it. Because you don't know what drives me, what I want, and you don't realize the big picture.
Although I am following in the footsteps of a legend, I am following my own path. Durant: I see you, rookie, you're next. Chet: I'm next.
